"Mr. Popularity"

Business as usual (avoid learning anything) for the Chimperor Disgustus:

BOGOR, Indonesia - President Bush's unpopularity here in the world's most populous Muslim nation made intense security jitters and angry protests the hallmarks of a six-hour trip to court Indonesian favor.

Bush arrived Monday for the second Indonesian stop of his presidency. Neither time has he spent the night, or even more than a few hours, the result of safety concerns in a place where emotions about his policies in the Middle East and the Iraq war run hot.

From a meeting and joint appearance before reporters with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (ed: "Silly Party") through a discussion with moderate civic leaders and a state dinner, Bush was not expected to interact with the general populace or do anything outside the confines of Bogor Palace, a graceful presidential retreat in this mountain town on the outskirts of the capital of Jakarta.


This actually works out fine for Bush as it is EXACTLY what he would do in any circumstance. You know he's traveling with his own pillow and his own private stash of jerkey, slim jims and gin.
